Laurel School District announces Red Ribbon Week winners

You are here

Teaching students to be drug free is a critical component of the Laurel School District curriculum. Each year, teachers and community volunteers work diligently to provide students with up-to-date information concerning illegal drugs and alcohol dangers, bullying prevention, how to deal with peer pressure, and how to make healthy choices. Through the district’s Safe and Drug Free Schools program, students were exposed to a variety of topics geared toward encouraging healthy choices.

To celebrate Red Ribbon Week, October 22-31, 2018, the district planned a comprehensive program to tackle many of the tough issues concerning illegal drug use. All schools participated in an art contest that focused on this year’s theme, “Life is your journey. Travel drug free.”

“I am proud of the hard work our teachers, staff and students put into honoring this special week,” said Laurel School District Drug Education Coordinator Dr. Stacey Henry.
